This is link to a story about the car attack in Magdeburg, somewhat delayed, but there is a twist, thatnks to Miguel Gonzalez. At least 2 dead, nearly 70 injured when car plows into German Christmas market: Officials - ABC News
UPDATE: The death toll is now up to 5, and they are saying that 200 were injured.
This story, which is also related to "security" at Christmas markets, makes me angry. Miguel Gonzalez: There is a knife crime problem in Germany.
And the solution is the confiscation of all knives including from old ladies.
Instead of blaming the people for crime, the German authorities are channeling their 1930s ancestors, and searching people at Christmas sales, like the one in Magdeburg. More security theater? It is more than that. It is the erosion of rights.
And while they are busy confiscating Swiss Army Knives from elderly women (yes, they did do that), they ignore the real threat to Christmas markets.
So when the Europeans eliminate all of the knives, will they then outlaw steel pipe? Rocks? When will people realize that it isn't the tool used that is to blame; it is the person wielding the tool.
And Miguel Gonzalez has a follow-up post: New Terrorist Attack in Germany.
At least the terrorist driver was not carrying a Swiss Army knife otherwise, it would have been worse.
